Holmes.

The team probably got to Washington late last night, and they were saying they had a really long bus ride from the airport.

Rooting for the Hawks, Grizzlies, and of course Magic tonight! Gotta put some distance between us and PHI and see if we can gain some ground on CLE.

Haha that's funny. Ben doing his best to create a rivalry, which I respect.

Gary and Isaac out on the 2nd night of the back-to-back as expected.

Fultz is good to go.

I really wonder for playoffs if all of this goes out the window? They do not have b2b right?

There isn't a B2B in the PO

So you might say... our players are built for PO schedules (lol)

There are 19 games left in the season. If we lose every single one of those 19, we'll end up with a .451 record.
Which is about where many of us expected our Magic to end up this year.
What a surprise season. Go Magic!

CZ Eddie · Post #1753 » by **CZ Eddie** » Thu Mar 7, 2024 4:05 am

If we win 9 of the remaining 19, we'll have a .561 winning record!

If he wanted to have an interesting one. That is...an interesting one.

Problem is with his opinion. What is his point? We didn't draft Shaq? We didn't draft Penny Hardaway?

Time will tell just how good Franz + Paolo can be. Time will also tell how dominant they become. Right now, we are trending the right direction.

Without turning this into something it doesn't need to be, all I can say is that Wosny Lambre has displayed some personal biases against the DeVos family and against Jonathan Isaac over reasons you can probably figure out on your own.

I would take anything he says about the Magic in general with a grain of salt.

Holy **** that's a bad take. I'd love to get their view of why the Magic are a 4th seed.

Lol I said the same thing my exact quote from the thread

“ Look Wos I think has bias that really bleed into his nba analysis. He used to be a political commentator as well as NBA. He calls Isaac “preacher man” whenever he comes up. We all know who our owners are. No excuse but an explanation”

I went back and listened to the whole thing hoping some context was lost and all I found was the other guy also taking a shot at our ownership. That whole crew is far from being unbiased.

- injuries to other teams
- teams not talking us seriously
- east looking weak

I bet are the usual hot takes.

As I said in other threads. This year I think a lot of teams have slept on us. We often come in with a ornament of injuries to role players and somehow eek a win out. Our defense is also smothering which is hard to do in this era. Teams have discovered that we are very messy in terms of ball and haven't found a way to make it unmessy.

I just don’t want the ringer to get painted with a broad brush. You have Bill Simmons and Russillo who are pretty complementary of us also the Mismatch guys have said stuff like this:
